Hi, which tutorials have you looked at? There's about a million out there, most of them written by people who know nothing about the language (props for trying anyways though :). Have a look at perlintro if you haven't already.

Also remember where the software and all its documentation came from. The best person to fix any problems you come across is yourself. Write short tutorials as you go along, and if in doubt post them to perlmonks for review.
